The Dashboard

The Dashboard is where you manage the components of your blog. There is a short video on the WordPress Dashboard that shows you how to set up your Dashboard for your specific needs. Everything is in one central location and easy-to-use. You can drag and drop items into locations that are easy for you to view upon access. This is where you can edit your profile, change your theme, and add new widgets or pages to your blog.

While checking everything on my Dashboard, I noticed that I have a Gravatar and that it can be changed. Not knowing what a Gravatar is, I did a simple search. Your Gravatar is an image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name when you do things like comment or post on a blog. www.gravatar.com
